Five stars for this neat workbook. It contains daily questions about your characters to help you develop truly dynamic characters that spring to life on the page. 366 Ways is not a primer for how to write a romance, but instead, it is a tool for you to prime the mental pump to really get to know your characters. Also, if you get “stuck” in your story, answering a few of these character questions can give you new insight. For me, it provides a great brainstorming tool for new stories as well. Some of the questions provoke deep thought, and I have at times discovered more about my own beliefs (and prejudices) as a writer than about the traits of my character. Any book that helps me delve deeper into my writer’s heart is a winner to me.

I purchased the Kindle and paperback of this phenomenal book because I carry my Kindle everywhere with me and I absolutely love an actual workbook.

This is not a how to book so much as it's a tool to get you tuned into the characters rattling around in your head. If you want your characters to really come alive it's not enough to know your heroine lines movies. You really should know what movie is her favorite and why. It's like getting to know your best friends. You know everything about them wether or not you use the info, but that's what makes them sparkle to you. That's what this book helps you do. Add sparkle to the friends in your story. I highly recommend this guide.

Writing can be hard but knowing your characters is even tougher. Rachelle brings amazing insight in this workbook of sorts that helps you delve into the characters you write. Definitely recommend to anyone who writes or even acts. Knowing the character(s) is the key to success at both!
